Question from paul b: Asked on 16/08/2008 hi, can you please clarify that the screen itself is HD? does this come with a standard 1 year warranty? thanks.

Question from Evzy: Asked on 14/08/2008 I'm looking to buy either the LX.ALN0X.248 or the LX.AN60X.041 and was wondering which would be better suited to me. I will primarily be using the laptop for gaming and also school work. Any advice is much appreciated!

Question from Asta-La-Vista: Asked on 08/08/2008 Which version of the vista operating system is supplied and installed 32bit or 64bit?

Question from OFI: Asked on 31/07/2008 Please could you tell me the maximum resolutions available on the external VGA port.
There also appears to be differing advice on the TurboCache/Turbo Memory. The spec here says it has Turbo Memory, elsewhere I have seen it described as having 1Gb of TurboCache on the GFX chipset.
On 7-12-2007 Easycom said "this has the Turbocache built in to the graphics card but no turbo memory. Please call us to discuss your upgrade requirements."
However on 22-11-2007 Robin asked "Please confirm this model has the 1GB of turbo memory." and Easycom responded "Yes it does"

Please could you clarify! Thanks.

Question from alwg: Asked on 30/07/2008 I have ordered the LX.AN60X.041 and was told by customer services that it is DVD RW. I also read the feedback above and it said the HD DVD was compatible with all formats including DVD RW. However on 28 July 2008 the following was said "These two laptops are almost identical. However, the LX.AN60X.001 model has a DVD re-writer as opposed to the LX.AN60X.041 which can only read DVDs. That is why there is a difference in price. Thanks" This seems to conflict with earlier advice and so as I don't want a machine that can't write to a DVD or CD can you let me know what is correct?

Question from MDB: Asked on 28/07/2008 I was trying to work out the difference between the Acer Aspire 5920G Gemstone Laptop - LX.AN60X.041 priced at £479.98 and the Acer Aspire 5920G (H) Gemstone Laptop - LX.AN60X.001 priced at £549.97

There doesn't seem to be an obvious difference in the spec but given the price difference I feel I might be missing something. Hope you can help me out.

Question from Robster: Asked on 26/07/2008 Please could you tell me what speed is the firewire connector ?

Thank you

Question from Misha: Asked on 11/04/2008 I bought this product after missing out on the Aspire 5863WLMi and wasn`t disapointed. It has everything i need in a laptop and has replaced my 3 year old laptop (1.5Ghz) well.

My only gripe with it is Vista!! but that`s a small gripe and found that i can live it (after so many years of XP) Like others this is my 1st ever Acer product and would recommend this laptop and the company to anyone,they provided a 1st rate product and a 1st rate level of service. Many thanks.

Just a small tip to buyers :- if you see something you like @ the right specs for what you need don`t dwell on it to long,this is how i missed out on the Aspire 5863WLMi @ 2Ghz just lucky for me i ended up with something better :)

Question from Shaun B: Asked on 05/04/2008 I bought this model 1 week ago and it is fantastic its replaced my desktop and is working better.

My desktop was built to a high spec and this laptop does everything my desktop did and more, its albe to keep up with myself multitasking which my desktop was starting to struggle with.

Working in IT Acers were a cheaper computer to start with, now owning one i can see it works 10 times better then any leading brands and are able to keep up with the most demanding user.

This is my first Acer (as a home user) but not my last, i will be buying more as and when they needed.

Highly recommended

Question from Jamie: Asked on 02/04/2008 I have to replace my current laptop (Win XP, 2GHz T2500, 2 GB RAM, ATI radeaon mobility x1600 graphics card, 100 GB HDD, DVD RW). I am looking for something new that beats these specifications.
I have been drawn to the 5920G and the 7720G. I want to play games as well as watch films and use the usual array of home office products.

Which of these machines should I go for? Is ACER a good make with high build quality? Do I need to purchase an additional warranty?

Question from Pancakes: Asked on 04/03/2008 Hi, what exactly is the reason for the £130 price diff between this and the 5920g (h), is it just that the (H) has draft N? If so, what exactly is Daft N, and what is its advantage over the Lower Cost Acer, thanks.
